Sources for LaserDisc Mastering and Replication

Conventional

The familiar silver laserdisc is manufactured in a multi-step process that
produces a master stamper. This is used to stamp or cast replicates which
are metallized and glued into the familiar two-sided sandwich disc. The
mastering and duplication process has numerous precision steps and offers
the highest quality but at a higher startup cost than RLV or "one-off" discs.

For moderate to high quantities the replicated discs quickly become less
expensive than RLV LaserDiscs. The breakeven point is generally around 6
copies.

The following facilities offer mastering and replication for volume
LaserDisc manufacturing. Please contact the individual vendors for more
information about their services.
